Majority/Minority Leader Schumer

The spectre of Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer appears again in the Washington Post article, “Sen. Chuck Schumer is positioned to be the Senate majority leader.”  Rasmussen has incumbent Harry Reid floating around 40% compared with over 50% for both of his potential GOP opponents.

This assumes the Democrats will retain control of the Senate after November, which is increasingly in doubt as Barbara Boxer is in trouble in California.  He could end up as Senate Minority Leader instead.
